Three positive solutions for p-Laplacian functional dynamic equations on time scales

Da-Bin Wang

Abstract:
In this paper, we establish the existence of three positive solutions to the following p-Laplacian functional dynamic equation on time scales,
$$\displaylines{
 [ \Phi _p(u^{\Delta }(t))] ^{\nabla}+a(t)f(u(t),u(\mu (t)))=0,\quad
 t\in (0,T)_{T}, \cr
 u_0(t)=\varphi (t),\quad t\in [-r,0] _{T},\cr
 u(0)-B_0(u^{\Delta }(\eta ))=0,\quad u^{\Delta }(T)=0,.
 }$$
using the fixed-point theorem due to Avery and Peterson [8]. An example is given to illustrate the main result.
